How else can I watch TV without an ariel?

I've just moved into a rented property, there's no ariel in the bedroom and we love watching TV in there. Is there anyway I can buy anything that I can connect to the TV, maybe like now tv or anything else that we can plug in and will work? I don't want a a plug in ariel as they don't work very well.. any suggestions would be great x

I use a sky box and it picks up most channels. Some sky channels are displayed, but obviously without a sky subscription you can't view them. I font have sky. I just bought a 2nd hand sky box for a tenner from my local cash generator shop. Now tv may work too, but not sure xx

You can plug your computer in and stream TV programs- like android TV but without a box. I think the thing you use to do it is called genesis- Google it. It's free. And legitimate. Sorry no good at tech aspect x

I definitely used my sky box without a subscription to sky and without an aerial. The dish was enough to pick up channels. My smart tv works in my new house without an aerial? I didn't set it up thou but it is plugged into my wireless router? X

Or internet TV. If you want to watch terrestrial TV, you need an aerial.

Thick question coming up.. how does my smart tv work with no aerial? I have a dish on my house but have no sky subscription. I also have now tv. My tv has free sat on it like u mentioned..what's the difference between that and free view? X

you can use now tv without an aerial as it streams over your broadband internet, you would also have access to iplayers and on demand as well, i just recently bought now tv for my sons bedroom for the tv

Satellite TV and Sky TV are NOT the same thing!

Freesat is a organisation that more or less broadcasts the same stuff as freeview over the same satellite as Sky uses. So if you have a sky dish, you can swap over to freesat without having to do anything other than plug in a freesat capable box (or TV with freesat built in) to the satellite cable.

So, if you are watching live TV on your telly, you either have a TV with freesat built in and it's plugged into the satellite dish, or it's getting it down the internet, or it has a built in antenna and you have cracking reception.

Or there's an aerial somewhere (in the loft?) that you don't know about.

You need an aerial for free view and other boxes. You can split the aerial though. I've done it and it works very well. It's not too expensive either.
Or you can watch it through the Internet but I don't think live TV would work via Internet.
Freesat and sky work through a dish and dishes usually have a few aerial points on them where you can put in each room.
If you have a loft space see if the aerial goes through there..this is where you'll split it and run it in to the bedroom through the ceiling.

I think you need to start by asking yourself what it is you want to be watching? By TV do you mean the TV channels or particular shows which you could get access to without the TV service. Personally I abhor the lack of real choice available through regular TV, so I use my broadband to connect a YouView box to my CRT TV (which has way better sound than the flat screen) in my living room, with a subscription to Netflix for films and box sets and access to catch up TV if I want to check it out (never do). In our bedroom we have a flat screen with an HDMI dongle connected which uses wireless to connect to the router in the hall and allows us access to Amazon Prime Video and loads more content. The benefit is that with my setup I don't need a TV licence, and can use that saving to subscribe to both Amazon Prime and Netflix for what I feel is a much more fun experience.
